Fitzpatrick Grand Central Hotel

Hotel was great (once we had managed to find it - no police officer seemed to know!). Although our room wasn't ready when we arrived, we were given drinks vouchers whilst we waited. The room was not a bad size - very very soft and squishy mattress and pillows. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Location of hotel was superb - very quiet yet near everything! Would recommend the hotel to anyone wanting a short stay close to good restaurants etc.

In January 2005 my husband and I arrived in NYC to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary and also have a very belated honeymoon !! I chose the hotel from the internet and was a little nervous, as I wanted our trip to be perfect. I had no need to worry, from the moment we set foot in the Fitzpatrick Grand Central we were made feel extremely welcome and the atmosphere was so good. After checking in we were shown to our room, which was absolutelt gorgeous, spotlessly clean and very inviting. It had everything you could possibly need, right... more

Stayed here for 3 nights and was very pleasantly surprised. This is a smallish hotel just around the corner from Grand Central Terminal. The room was smallish but very nicely done up and the bed was absolutely gorgeous. Apparently they have installed new matresses which are really soft but supportive as well - I have to say I've never slept in a more comfortable bed. The hotel doesn't have any pomp or ceremony which I like. The maid service was really good as well. I love staying in a hotel with bath robes and this has them although... more

For my first visit to NY, I was really worried about where to stay. I had no real points of reference for much of anything. This hotel turned out to be my oasis. My only gripe was that upon checking in the heater was malfunctioning. It was promptly fixed but later on that night when I returned, it was not heating up again. The attentive staff came up within 5 minutes to fix it. Other than that, I thought the room was nice. No real view of anything except the brick building next to me, but still not a bad rate for the comfortable bed and... more

I have just returned to the UK from a 4 night stay at the Fitzpatrick Grand Central Hotel in New York from 31st March-4th April 2005. I stayed with my partner and our 4 children. The hotel rooms were all extremely well furnished and the beds beautifully comfortable. The hotel is quiet and off the main drag so a good night's sleep is assured. The staff are extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful. There were lots of air crew staying at the hotel which to me signifies a good hotel to those in the know. The breakfasts are outstanding with... more

I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights in March/April 1005 and I think it is a good hotel. The rooms are comfortable. Yes, the TV cabinet doors get in the way, but it is only a minor complaint. The bathrooms are great and the housekeeping is very good. Breakfasts are good and well preapred and the staff are friendly and very helpful. The hotel has a nice, informal atmoshere and is not so large as to be impersonal. lt is also very well positioned.

2 adults + 2 teenagers . First stopped at Fitzpatrick Grand Central early December 2003 for 3 nights, first time in NY & found all at the hotel very friendly and helpful, although had 2 days of blizzards still found what parts of NY we could visit to be wonderful. Hotel is right next to Grand Central Station which has a wonderful little market & loads of places for food. Returned to the 'Fitz' over easter 2004 this time for 5 nights, length of stay recommended as theres that much to do and see in NY! Again found the hotel and staff superb,... more

We stayed 4 nites at the Fitzpatrick Grand Central at the beginning of February, 2005. A year prior we stayed at the other Fitzpatrick location in Manhattan, my Irish-descent husband wanted to try the "other Fitzpatrick" this time. We loved the location on a quiet block of 44th St., around the corner from the Chrysler Building, a half block from Grand Central, also a half block from busy Third Avenue. I love Grand Central, one of the great public spaces in America. With many food vendors and restaurants, bars, shopping, etc., it's a... more

We stayed at the Fitzpatrick for New Year. It is situated slap bang in the middle of everything so it's easy to get around from there. Right opposite Grand Central and so easy enough to jump on most metro lines. Plus there is a an amazing market opposite if you want some fresh fruit and juice or bagels every morning. The room was cleaned every day, new towels and clean flannels. Bed made and they even fold your PJ'S :) The staff were pretty nice. Some really really nice and some a bit standoffish but overall they were helpful and... more

My Husband and I stayed here for 3 nights and although I had been to New York before, this was his first visit. Although the room we requested was not available on check in, we were asked to wait in the bar and offered a complimentary drinks while we waited. This, to me, is making a bad situation right. This hotel is very good at making sure the guest is treated well. The room was a bit small, but extremely comfortable and the staff was very friendly and helpful going out of their way several times to help us. Food in the restaurant was... more
